Travel and Adventure Journal

I wanted a place to journal all my travels and adventures around the world. I always enjoy going back and reflecting on my past travels and getting to relive them through my words and photos.

Memorial Day with the family - Day 6 - 2012 Indy 500 Motorcycle Trip

Monday, May 28, 2012 @ 7:00 PM in General Travel

Since the race didn't get as wild yesterday as we were expecting, I was able to get to bed by a semi-reasonable time last night. I got a decent amount of sleep and woke up feeling a little groggy. I'm pretty sure that grogginess came from sitting in the sun for 8 hours yesterday, but I can't be totally sure.

After getting up and having breakfast, I relaxed for a little bit while waiting for my grandparents, uncle and his wife and his wife's sister and husband to show up. They all arrived and we broke out quite the feast. We had some filipino food, burgers, all kinds of side dishes and some good frozen mango margaritas.

We all hung out for several hours before people started heading home. I started to pay attention to the weather as they were calling for some severe thunderstorms rolling through that night. Since I was leaving bright and early in the morning I was anxious to see if I'd get rained on or not.

Since my parents and I were still fairly full from the big lunch I started to get some laundry and packing done so I wouldn't have to do it all in the morning. We ordered a pizza for dinner which was really good. I still wasn't feeling 100% so I wanted to make sure I got a good night's sleep so I decided to head upstairs around 8:30pm to finish this report and get ready for bed.

Tomorrow starts my journey back home!
